Swell Summary
Outlook through Wednesday May 30: No significant swells are expected, with surf below advisory levels along all shores. A small, long-period south-southwest swell will continue into the weekend. A small north-northwest swell will slowly diminish through Thursday. Another small northwest swell may give surf a slight bump along north facing shores over the weekend. Breezy trade winds will deliver choppy short-period waves to east facing shores into the weekend.
Surf heights are forecast heights of the face, or front, of waves. The surf forecast is based on the significant wave height, the average height of the one third largest waves, at the locations of the largest breakers. Some waves may be more than twice as high as the significant wave height. Expect to encounter rip currents in or near any surf zone.
